The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) donated approximately $592,000 worth of lifesaving HIV and TB medicines and diagnostics last week.
The delivery includes HIV treatment for adults, as well as special doses for babies and children, and rapid test kits for HIV, syphilis, Hepatitis C, and tuberculosis.
“This is a time for action, not promises. UNDP stands with Fiji in solidarity—because when lives are at stake, partnership means showing up, side by side,” said UNDP Pacific Office Resident Representative, Ms Munkhtuya Altangerel.
“Together, we are working to ensure that no one is left behind, and that every person, no matter how remote or vulnerable, has access to the care they need.”
This handover is one part of the broader HIV Outbreak Response Plan led by the Ministry of Health and supported by national stakeholders, development partners, civil society, and communities.
The plan focuses on expanding testing, improving access to treatment, reaching key and vulnerable populations, and strengthening coordination and service delivery across the country.
